Answer 1

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了感冒的缘由以及人们的应对措施。

if 考查连词。与上文的wonder呼应，且表示"如果"的含义，故用连词if。

for考查介词。a cure for…意为"……治疗方法"，符合语境，故用介词for。

it考查代词。此处it代指上文的a viruS。

a考查冠词。block此处为名词，且表示具体的概念，故用不定冠词a。

is killing考查动词的时态。根据语境可知，此处表示正在做某事，且与上下文时态一致，故用现在进行时。

to kill考查非谓语动词。此处不定式表示目的。与can没有关系，且can的后面省略了动词do,

better 考査形容词的比较级。根据上文的"There are dif?ferent ways to treat colds in different cultures."可知，人们采取各种措施来消除感冒，因此此处表示有所好转，与之前没有采取措施应对感冒形成对比，故用betters

while考査连词。根据语境可知，此处上下句形成一种对比关系，而非转折概念，故用连词while,意为"然而"。

various 考查词性转换。symptoms为名词，修饰名词的词为形容词，且此处表示"各种各样的"，故用various。 varied 意为"变化的"，不符合语境。

actually考查词性转换。修饰形容词的词为副词，故用ac?tually 修饰 形容词 bad,符合语境
